5/22/2013Straps are a joke, but easy fix

By Sean B.

I just thought I'd write this review for all those people who said the velcro straps suck. They're absolutely right, so much that I took them off the minute I got the fins. I replaced them with Sporti Bungee chords. I haven't used them with my kids yet but I see no reason why it won't work, the youngsters don't make enough power to blow the fins off their feet.

That said, the actual fin part is great quality. The rubber is flexible enough for young ankles, and the blade length is just the right length.

5/19/2012Maybe ok for occasional recreational use, but not for swim workout

By swmat

Bought these fins for my 6 and 9 year old kids for swim practice. Unfortunately the velcro heel strap did not do a good job of staying in place. The fins kept falling off in the water. Granted, the kids may not have tighten the velcro properly, but if they can't do it, then it's not worth the trouble. Bought new fins with the full rubberized heel - those stayed on for the full workout.

1/16/2012Almost perfect

By Jeanie B.

The fins fit my 7-year-old well, and he is delighted with his new ability to speed through the water. He is developing a better position in the water as he learns to swim because the fins force him into a horizontal position, rather than the foot-dragging 45 degree angle that is killing his speed. The strap on the back of the fins does slip off his foot constantly. I improvised a fin keeper with some stretchy velcro straps and now they work perfectly.

By Donna

THEY WILL NOT STAY ON YOUR KIDS FEET. THEY ARE A JOKE. I CALLED TO SEE ABOUT EXCHANGING AND THEY SAID SORRY...THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE WATER. THAT IS WHAT HE GOT THEM FOR IS THE WATER. THEY FIT FINE OUTSIDE THE WATER. GOOD I GUESS IF YOU ARE NOT WEARING THEM IN THE WATER.

6/22/2011Great kids fins

By Betty

Our five year old is really enjoying his new fins. They are not as stiff as some adult fins, which is great. They stay on well and fit securely with the adjustable heel strap. My only concern is that the velcro is a very thin piece, so I may replace it with a wider one to stay on even better.
